"Physics- B.A. with Teaching of Science Concentrations" vs. a Regular Physics B.A.

I just remembered as well: the best science teacher I ever had in high school was in fact a physics teacher, who was also completing his dissertation in physics at a major research university. He was outstanding, caring, enthusiastic and dedicated.

This teacher experience is totally subjective and personal, but I give it to counter the notion that only a teacher who has completed a teaching track solely (to the exclusion of other higher education in their respective field) is the only kind of high school teacher that will be dedicated, committed and knows how to teach. YMMV.
